Windows TS is as far as I remember the main reason for stat cache being there as well. Not necessarily because stats are slower on windows but because a userland stat causes multiple system stat (virtual cwd and related does multiple calls ). It was and most likely still is a performance hit back then. As for the option to disable stat cache, I don't see how it can hurt, as long as it is well documented and off by default. So daemon and similar apps can disable it if desired. Other apps, I honestly do not see any gain :).
